An item reported that Austrian naval exports designed a large heavily armoured torpedo battleship armed with 30 torpedo tubes (12 in front of the fore tunnel, 8 between the fore and midship funnels, 8 between the after midship funnel and the aft smokestack and finally a couple of tubes right af. Furthermore shehad 22-4.7” gunst against torpedo boats and for merchant ship destruction. The sides were bulging and like the rounding deck heavily armoured. With four funnels (3 together forward, 1 right aft), turbine-boiler propulsion delivering 36,000 hp was she 3 knots faster as any existing battleship at the time. Fairly low in the water showing funnels, masts and light superstructure. Estimate building costs 1,500,000 pound sterling.
